Hello! Today is Tuesday, September 12, 2023.

🔔 Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy, the future 35th President of the United States, and Jacqueline Bouvier were married at St. Mary’s Church in Newport on this day in 1953.

It is estimated that between 750 – 800 guests, including many notable individuals, attended the wedding at St. Mary’s Church on Spring Street and an additional 400 – 450 attended the reception at Hammersmith Farm.

In honor of the Kennedy’s 70th wedding anniversary, one can re-live that special day today at St. Mary’s Church when the church hosts the “Return to Camelot” commemorative presentation at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The 30-minute presentation will feature vintage film clips, a live performance of organ music and hymns from the wedding ceremony, and the “first dance” played at the reception at Hammersmith Farm, Jackie’s childhood summer home in Newport.
